Piggery Place

Well when can i say just brilliant place to go, everything was in driving location

We enjoyed our stay cottage was very nice comfortable bed was better than at home well set out for disable people only complaint central heating did not work during are stay owner try to reset thermostat so bedroom cold as heating still did not work No smoke alarm

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, communication was great as was the accommodation and location

On arrival, It didnt look the best of set ups, However was very surprised with the Standard.

It was so clean and fresh looking. The amenities were Excellent, very quiet and with plenty of space for the two of us. Was left alone and really enjoyed our stay. Great Position for exploring and some Beautiful Villages around. Loads of choices for food around. Had great stay and will be back. Thank you for our stay Sue n co.

A picture of the toilet facilities would have been nice as my wife found the disabled facilities through out were great .

We never heard the cows moo once ! More than one tea towel would have been good . Sue was very welcoming and helpful through out our stay . We can recommend this property and the local village is lovely etc .

Splendid accommodation on a working farm and perfect hosts

A very comfortable stay and a great holiday.

Great friendly hosts. Well equipped for those of us with disabilities as well as everything else you need for a good stay

A wonderful place in the peak district which has the needs of those with physical disabilities in mind, but not clinical or in your face, wide doors wet room recliner toilet rail , all amazing.

Located on a working farm it was lovely to see wildlife and hear the mooing.friendly folk that came to check on us in the heavy snow

Lovely place to stay.

Warm, comfortable, the best for our stay was also because it was all on one level for my elderly parents with accessible bathroom & elderly/ disabled facilities. Although on a working farm you were not disturbed by any noise at all. The host Sue was was vey friendly & helpfull. We would definitely return

A lovely warm and comfortable cottage, ideal if you have mobility issues.

Conveniently located for easy access to both Buxton and Ashbourne. Helpful and welcoming on site owner.

The location is great for visiting many local attractions.

The facilities are a little dated but everything worked well, was easy to use and the accommodation layout was very practical. The main bed was very squeaky but comfortable. The bathroom chair provided was brilliant, good size, sturdy and perfect for navigating the good sized wet room. Although on the edge of the main road the property was quiet enough for us to enjoy the holiday without disturbance from the traffic. For an accessible property it would be easier if the floors were not carpeted to enable easier movement and cleaning. We were warm and comfortable, thank you!

It’s always great to come back to Piggery Place.

Our family love it. Sue is always helpful and accommodating. The place is spacious and well kitted out. Looking forward to next time.

The Piggery is a cosy, comfortable place to stay.

We managed circular walks from the door step. It was lovely seeing the dairy cows in the barn opposite with their newly born calves. The owners are friendly and helpful. We were lucky to have good dry weather for our walks. Plenty to do/see a short drive away also. We enjoyed our week's stay.

Lovely cottage, situated centrally in the Peaks making it easy to visit the sites of interest.

Would come again.

Lovely clean and comfortable cottage

The Piggery was ideal accomodation if you have any mobility issues or elderly, wide doorways, one level throughout, hand rails in the wet room.

So well thought out and equipped.

We had a lovely week in Derbyshire visiting various places in the Peak District.

Piggery Place met all our expectations as a base. The wet room and the riser recliner chair were ideal aids for my wife's disability. Seeing the cows and calves was an added bonus. Thanks to Sue for her welcome when we arrived.

We had a lovely time.

Sue and her family are lovely. The property was excellent and very handy for everything we wanted to do. They even invited, my grandson to play with there children, which was lovely. Would recommend the property to anyone. Thank you once again.

We had a brilliant stay at Piggery Place, we will definitely stay again in the future, would highly recommend.

Owners were very helpful and friendly.

A lovely little cottage on a working farm ideally situated for touring the Derbyshire Dales.

It's accessible with good wet room but quite small to negotiate for a wheelchair bound user. We were greeted by Sue who was on hand if we needed anything. We had a nice relaxing week catching up with friends.

Lovely stay, Sue was very welcoming and helpful.

We booked Piggery Place because my husband has mobility issues and it was ideal, the bathroom set up was brilliant, and he could get around with his 4 wheeled walker. The Tissington and High Peaks Trails which are close by were great for his mobility scooter with me cycling. Hopefully we will be back.

We loved our stay at your cottage.

The farm setting is lovely and it was great to see the cows in the barn calving. We were comfortable; even though the accommodation is compact, there was everything we needed, especially the facilities for the disabled. I’m sure someone in a wheelchair would have coped very well. I would have liked a choice of pillows as I have to sleep almost flat and all your pillows are lovely, but big and soft. The welcome from Sue was great, we just needed to listen to the instructions for the TV more carefully. Maybe a written instructions card by the controls would help? Thank you for a lovely stay in a beautiful area of Derbyshire.

New little cottage.

Very convenient for visiting the tourist places. Loved the cows in the shed. Could have been a little cleaner. Oven & shower corner needs a better clean.

Lovely clean, cosy cottage.

This was our 3rd stay at Old House Farm cottages and we will be returning. Piggery Place has everything we need. The bathroom is just right for those with a disability. Parking is right by the door . It is very warm and comfortable and has a rise and recline chair which was also very useful. I would recommend this holiday home .We love it!

Lovely clean and warm cottage.

In beautiful surroundings host was very pleasant and there if needed

This has been our 2nd time at the Piggery Place the 1st time being at Christmas last year and once again is was just what we needed to relax and unwind down ,Sue the owner keeps the place very clean and comfy and is always on hand if anything should go wrong .

We are looking to return later in the year . Many thanks Sue for all you do ...

We loved staying in Piggery Place.

It was very comfortable, clean and cosy. Great location for going on days out and the kids loved staying on a real farm.

We stayed in the piggery between 6th and 16th Feb 25, as base for a walking holiday around the Chatsworth and Bakewell.

In arriving at the property the key was ready for us, and on entering the piggery we found it to be in a high standard of cleanliness, the cottage was as described on the website and well equipped with everything you would need for your stay. The bedrooms had plenty of storage and the beds were very comfortable. Sue came to see everything was ok and that we were settling in ok and sorted a small problem with the heating (water pressure had dropped - thanks Sue) and the cottage was soon warm and cosy. All the appliances worked well with no problems. The cottage is on a working dairy farm, and the heard were in there winter quarters, so during the day you could hear them chatting away, although once your inside the cottage, you could not really hear them, although the chatting away from the heard did stop during the evening, there is a farm smell……. Well it is in a farm and again you don’t really notice it in the cottage. The farm is also on a bust road which can be a little noisy during the day with the quarry truck going up and down, but again from about 2000hrs the noise stopped with only the odd car using the road. If turning into the cottage from the left, it is a really tight turn (basically doing a u turn) so you need to go on the opposite side of the road to turn in. There is no negative comments I can make about the cottage it was totally as described and what I expected. I definitely will be booking again, and would highly recommend the piggery. Thankyou so much Sue for letting us stay in your cost and lovely cottage as a base for our Holliday it was superb. X Glen and Maggie

Piggery cottage is located on a farm.

The owner Sue is friendly and on hand if you need her. The cottage is warm and cosy. It has everything you can think of in the kitchen. Like home from home. The beds are really comfortable Great location, in the countryside with access to many villages and towns. We will definitely return.

Lovely cottage, with good facilities in a great location.

Would definitely recommend and would stay again.

We felt so lucky to have found a place as the piggery place that we could relax and find peace in .

It was very clean ,comfortable ,warm and everything was supplied that you will ever need for a great holiday .Sue the host ,is a lovely lady and she cares about her "guests" comfort .As it was Christmas time when we stayed Sue put a Christmas tree in the cottage making it feel so perfect .So our stay was perfect , many thanks .

We keep returning to this spotlessly clean well equipped lovely cottage.

For people with disabilities it's a little gem. Sue the owner is so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Have already booked for next year.

We all had a very enjoyable stay.

The place is very clean, comfortable and well equipped. Sue was excellent at communicating with us when we asked for help. We are looking forward to our next visit.

This was our sixth time at this lovely cottage.

It is immaculately clean and for people with disabilities it's ideal. You feel so at home and Sue the owner makes you feel so welcome.We look forward to returning in the spring.

Lovely cottage ideally situated with easy access to many of the Peak District's attractions.

The cottage is really nice & cosy. good sized bedrooms, wet room and comfy Living room/Kitchen/Diner. The photos don't do the cottage justice, it's so lovely. Our two kids really appreciated the tour of the farm by Sue. Our eldest was extremely inquisitive and Sue was able to answer his complex questions! He enjoyed it that much he now wants to become a dairy farmer before becoming a game designer!! Location wise it is perfect, within an hours drive you can easily get to various places like Chatsworth, Hardwick Hall, Matlock, Sudbury etc. Although the cottage is on a working farm by a main road it was really peaceful throughout the day. Lovely holiday was had by all!

Excellent ,couldn't wish for more we enjoyed a lovely stay and wished we could have stayed longer, very friendly and welcoming

We had a lovely time.

Piggery place us very comfortable, well equipped and in a great location. Sue was helpful and we feel well rested after a few days here.

Excellent stay on this working farm.

Took our disabled grandson for a short break and he loved it. We were right opposite the calving barn and were lucky enough to see a newborn calf on our second morning as well as plenty of older calves in the other barns. The owners are extremely helpful and nothing is too much trouble. Only problem I had was i couldn’t wake up in the morning I was so comfortable. Thank you.

Good centre for Derbyshire - comfortable cottage, warm, well equiped and we even got to watch an aurora from the back door.

Friendly welcome clean comfortable good facilities, well situated to tour the White Peak, one of the best cottages we have used

The property was excellent, very clean and very comfortable and Sue was lovely, very friendly and helpful.

We had a lovely peaceful stay and will highly reccommend it to other guests. We loved hearing the cows in the morning and miss them now we are back home. We would love to go again sometime, health permittin.

It was a very good place to stay .

Lots of fun looking at the Cows.

The owners were lovely and friendly and took time to show my daughter the cows and even let her watch the milking.

Very comfortable.

Lovely cottage which had all the facilities that my wheelchair using wife needed.

We had a warm welcome on arrival. Loved watching the cows who were just as interested is us as we had on them. Easy to get around Derbyshire. The turn into the property was a bit tight.

We arrived at the cottage at 5 pm on Friday 28th June 2024.

Following the owner's instructions, we called her and she informed us that the key was in the door. Unfortunately, she couldn't greet us in person as she was at the hairdresser's. I had previously informed her that this trip was a surprise for my mom's 60th birthday, hoping for a special touch, but there were no decorations or even a note to celebrate the occasion. Thankfully, I had brought birthday goodies with me to make the celebration special. Upon arrival, we found no tea, coffee, or milk, which are typically provided at self-catering properties, at least a teabag and a splash of milk. Bearing in mind we are on a farm that keeps cows and calfs. The website and the owner had indicated that the property had a washer-dryer, but we only found a washing machine with no drying facilities—not even a drying rack. The weather wasn't great so I couldn't hang the washing outside. All washing was placed on hangers inside the property. This was particularly inconvenient as I had brought laundry with me, expecting to be able to dry it fast. For families with children, this could be a significant issue. Additionally, despite what was mentioned on various websites, there are no cots available at the property. None that was inside anyway. I took a shower on Saturday morning and although I put the bath mat down, I slipped on the floor grabbing a towel in the area the bath mat didn't reach. If this was my disabled mother, she would be in hospital right now. Fortunately, it's just a large bruise on me. Very dangerous. The WiFi at the property went down at 6 am and wasn't turned back on till 5:30 pm. During this time I asked the owners to fix the problem, which they didn't. I was met with a slammed door, 'I don't know,' and 'it's EE's problem.' I was also advised to 'get some fresh air,' which was an insult as my mum is on crutches and needs a walking aid being disabled, and this was very apparent when the owner suggested this looking at her in the property. This made my mum upset and self conscious. This is a disabled friendly cottage. I had to console my disabled mum after the owner left her upset. On her birthday. This isn't fair. We booked this property due to the cosiness and escape, to catch up and watch films, and have a girly evening. This wasn't met. We didn't want to go for fresh air as suggested. I had to work for a few hours in the morning online, which I wasn't able to, resulting in a financial loss for me. The location doesn't allow me to use mobile data. At 5:30 pm, a younger lady came to see us and told us that all she needed to do was reboot the router. It took her five minutes. The Internet was fixed then. Too late for work and too late for leisure. The whole day was wasted, and it's such a disappointment. We have sat around waiting all day. It's my mum's 60th birthday and was supposed to be special, and I had so many things planned. Let me be clear, the router needed resetting after maybe an hour or two which I suggested this to be done. Not 9/10 hours. It's not acceptable. I paid for this feature and this wasn't met. Obviously the owner's have to refund me on this. On Saturday evening, loud music was blasting from 9 PM until midnight. This noise disturbance severely affected our ability to relax, and more importantly, it prevented my mother from being able to sleep. We chose this property because it was advertised as a secluded and peaceful location, so we were quite shocked and disappointed by this incident. Additionally, the noise from passing cars was also very disruptive. With the windows open, the sound was even more pronounced, making it difficult to enjoy the tranquility we had expected. In light of these issues, I am requesting a full refund for my stay at Piggery Cottage. The property did not match the advertisement, and the customer service was poor. It did not meet my expectations, and I am highly disappointed with my experience. I hope you will take my concerns seriously and address them promptly. If this issue isn't dealt with, I will have to take this further.

Lovely cottage, beautiful inside, need a few instructions as for, heating, tv, fire in corner, shower, we really enjoyed ourselves,

Warm welcome from Sue, lovely cottage , our second visit, already planning our third one, layout and facilities just right for disabled people

Comfortable accommodation.

Great for two of our party who are less mobile. Facilities were first class for them, especially in the bathroom. Kitchen was really well stocked. Would have liked an information folder about local amenities but that was only a minor point . Thank you for a great holiday.

I can’t rate this place enough The disabled facilities are excellent!

And made are stay so simple and easy. Lovely friendly people, excellent location and beautiful cottage We will 100% be returning:)

Very clean and comfortable cottage.

Sue and Family were extreamly helpful and welcoming. Enjoyed our stay very much.

A beautiful cottage set on a working farm with everything provided in the kitchen for your stay.

All on one level with a wet room shower making it ideal for dad. Really cosy and the beds were so comfortable! Easy access to visiting beautiful areas of the Peak District. Hartington, Tissington, Bakewell, Cromford canal all within easy driving distance. Host super lovely. Highly recommended!

Yet again lovely relaxing holiday.

Well equipped spotlessly clean cottage. You are in a dairy farm but meeting the ladies l mean the cows is lovely. Thanks again to sue for making our stay so welcoming.

Lovely cottage, clean and comfortable.

Had everything we needed. Would return if in the area again

Lovely cottage ideal for 2 adults and 2 children very well equipped in a great part of the Peak District.

Very comfortable beds enjoyed our stay.

Thank you so much Sue the cottage was perfect for us, spotlessly clean, there was everything we needed!

Thank you for providing the cot and highchair that really helped us out! I would recommend Piggery Place 100%! The icing on the cake was the baby cows just outside the door the children loved that! Thanks Sue x

Comfortable , well equipped character cottage .

Excellent location for walking on the High Peak and Tissington trails . Excellent value for money .

Very good cottage for people with mobility difficulties.

Parking right by cottage. .Bathroom designed for disabled. Everything on one level.Lovely and warm with everything we needed .Shame about the weather! Thankyou for a pleasant stay

Really good week weather fine most of the week,Sue the owner was very helpful we bought some table mats & coasters which were hand painted really beautiful farm scenes, unfortunately I left my necklace when leaving which was a present from my son not been able to contact Sue since coming home.

we left for home on Friday just as storm Babet hit was horrendous travelling home flooded everywhere but thankfully got home safely only downside to holiday was internet no service most of the time & quite a lot of road noise but overall a good holiday

This is our fourth stay at this lovely clean comfortable cottage.

have already booked for next year a big thank you to sue for making us feel so welcome

A lovely cottage with everything you need.

Ideally situated for seeing the Peak District and Sue is very obliging. Very good restaurant just a short distance away.

Pity about the noise of traffic from the passing busy main road.

Thank you for our stay, Mrs.

Flowers was very welcoming. The property was well equipped and comfortable for the two of us. We stayed whilst it was warm so had no need for heating etc. The wet room had a decent shower and would be very suitable for a less able bodied person. The one thing lacking was a clothes horse for drying clothes. We stayed for two weeks, so did a little washing. Everything was clean with the exception of the living room carpet which could have done with a steam clean. We were well aware that the property was on a working farm and had no issues with the closeness of the cattle barn. Although there was not much to do, walks etc the accommodation is so close to many places of interest ie, Cromford Mill, Chatsworth, Bakewell, Stanton Moor stone circles, Arbor Low, Crich Tram Museum all within 30 min drive.

Comfortable, clean and well equipped.

Situated on working farm with large dairy herd with associated noises and smells- no problem for us but imagine it could be for some people. Also close to busy and fast A road but again no real problem for most people. Owners a tad remote but daughter in law went beyond call of duty in sorting out Internet after 10pm on day of arrival.

A very cosy and comfortable farm cottage on a working farm and close to the farmhouse.

Good bathroom facilities for the less mobile and parking close by too. Spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Lots to do and see nearby and stunning scenery.

Thank you Sue and family for our break in your lovely cosy cottage.

The pair of us have had both hips replaced so the facilities were ideal. Cental to many of the historic industrial and market towns it provided a great location to get about. We would recomend it to any body looking to visit the peak district, Elaine and Paul.

Fantastic cottage with great facilities for disabled guests.

Sue is very welcoming and offered some great advise on the local area.

i have been to many cottages over many many years with Sykes and i have to say Piggery Place is one of the best i have stayed in .

the moment the pair of us stepped through door we said it is cosy comfortable and clean and had a very enjoyable week there keep up the good work you do there.

A comfortable cottage, warm and cosy.

Lovely cottage.

Everything had been thought of and kitchen was well stocked.

Love this cottage and the farm and love Derbyshire

A well equiped cottage.

Lovely hosts. Saw 2 calves being born, which was an unexpected bonus. If you love cows, you love this place. Highly recommended!

We had a lovely week at Piggery Place & the cottage suited our requirements exactly & the wet room was superb for my wife The weather wasn’t as warm or dry as it was at home but we were out everyday.

The location was where we wanted it & quite happy to be on a working farm. Good connections with two A roads & a petrol station nearby. Sue was very helpful both prior to our arrival & on the day as we had arranged a grocery delivery. She also suggested a visit to the Crich Tramway Museum which we both enjoyed. Thanks Sue for all the help. Other recommended trips are Abraham Heights, Dovedale Steps, Derwent & Ladybower Reservoir walks & Arbor Low which is 4 miles away.

We absolutely loved our stay, we could not fault the cottage.

Situated on a working farm - with associated aromas - but that didn’t bother us. Sue was very welcoming. The cottage itself was more than fully equipped with everything we needed. The wet room was a godsend for my wife. It would certainly be our first choice if we visit the Peak District again

Lovely comfortable cottage well situated.

With easy access to cycle tracks, Our second visit we would definitely recommend it to our friends. Noreen and Bernard

We had a great holiday in this lovely cottage.

Central to lots of places to visit. We will definitely be going there again

Lovely stay in a well equipped barn conversion.

Met my dad's needs ( parkinsons) very well. Took a couple of days to work out the TV...probably me, no goid with techno. Couldn't find any dvds so bought a couple and left for others. Could have done with a bit of info about local area.....WiFi code well hidden ( not with appliances instructions or contact numbers on fridge) found eventually in the glass cabinet, on our last day ! Hartington has a goid selection of small shops and eateries including a farm shop and cafe, - (Wheelchair accessible)

A very comfortable cottage for anyone with mobility problems or disability.

The wet room is equipped for wheelchair users and access via a slope to the cottage is good. Sue, the owner, was very welcoming and keen to make sure that we could use all appliances effectively. There was no mobile phone signal at the cottage but Wifi did work well. The entrance driveway can be difficult to turn into when approaching from the A515 junction direction but is a lot easier when approaching from the Matlock A5012 direction.

This property was situated within the residential part of a working dairy farm.

It Is a very quiet an restful place. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. Very well stocked with everything anyone could want and well designed for disabled people. Ramps and accessible wet room. Private parking and garden area with picnic seating available. The cottage is well placed to use as a touring base for the region with good road links. There are a few excellent Pub Diners within minutes. Some SATVAVs may only get you within a quarter mile of the cottage but that's not a significant problem.

Very comfortable, spotlessly clean.

Be ready for all things ‘farm’ and early road noise. No views from Piggery Place. Great location for getting out into the Peaks, everything within 30 minutes!

This was an ideal cottage, especially for somebody with mobility problems.

Everything one could need was provided. Extremely comfortable and quiet. Perhaps a written instruction book on how to use the appliances etc. Would be helpful. Also what is expected before departure with the linen.

Very enjoyable stay.

Thank you Sue for making us feel very welcome. Hopefully we will be back again to stay and visit more of the beautiful location.

Lovely snug and warm cottage.

Good for walking the nearby trails. Really well equipped for the less mobile in particular as all on one level and some mobility aids available. Kitchen well equipped with quality pans and crockery in plentiful supply. A very enjoyable stay

Wonderful inside.

Outside….up to 30 flies around our vehicle each time we went out. Too near livestock.

Fabulous stay this week.

Host Sue was lovely and welcoming. Property was perfect, clean, great location and a home from home. The little extras like washing up liquid, cloths, hand wash etc were brilliant. A great location to visit lots of places including Alton towers, Bakewell, Buxton, outlet shopping, and beautiful walks but also enable you to come back and relax. Seeing some calf’s born in the farm was the icing on the cake. Visited with my 13 & 14 year old who can be hard to please but definitely gave this place a thumbs up. Highly recommended!

Wonderful two weeks break.

Was shown around the dairy farm and was introduced to a new born calf. Thanks to the farmers wife for her kindness. The cottage warm,spotlessly clean and ideal for disabled people.

Lovely quiet location.

Wish the weather was better though!

My husband has severe mobility problems.

He uses a walking frame and struggles to balance and stand. Piggery Place was well kitted out for him and certainly suited his needs. We were very pleased to see the hand rails and the shower chair in the wet room. The arm chairs in the lounge, we’re not too low and had arms which helped him when he stood up. The furniture was sturdy so that he could lean on it when necessary, to pull himself upright. Our cottage was very well equipped, nice and warm and there was plenty of hot water. The cottage is very close to the High Peak Trail and Long Dale is a stunning, little-known valley, perfect for walking. There is cycle hire and mobility scooter hire at Parsley Hay. We enjoyed our visits to Hartington, Ashbourne and Youlgrave. It was fascinating being on a working dairy farm and the cottage is situated opposite the ‘nursery’. So I enjoyed seeing the calves and watching them being fed. Sue is extremely helpful and is happy to answer any questions about the locality or the farm.

Very good place to stay and see surrounding area.

Amazing scenery. Sue was very welcoming and always on hand if we needed help. Place very accessible for our 18 year old in a wheelchair. Both our daughters and ourselves thoroughly enjoyed our holiday. Highly recommend

Fantastic cottage on a lovely family dairy farm.

Warmly welcomed by Mrs Flowers who took time out of her busy schedule to explain a briefly how they work on the farm.

The cottage, Piggery Place, was very comfortable, clean, well equipped and had a very homely feel. I have limited mobility and everything was designed to accommodate wheelchair users. Piggery Place faces the maternity barn with the nursery next door and we were fortunate enough to see 3 day old twin calves. It was a lovely relaxing time and we hope to go there again. Highly recommended.

The accommodation was rather gloomy and needs updating.

When sitting outside, the noise from the farms fans and the road made it difficult to relax outside. The fans did not go off until 11.30 pm so it was hard to get an early night. The property could benefit from secondary double glazing to alleviate external noise, particularly from the main road.

being a wheelchair user it is nice to have a ramped entrance with no shale or cobles comfortable seating and an adapted bathroom

Lovely country accommodation- place was spotlessly clean and the disabled facilities were really good.

We had a great weekend

Lovely place, when we turned up the heating was not working but within 2hrs a new pump had been fitted.

Lovely and warm all week. Sue went out of her way to get things sorted ASAP. A really lovely host. Little noise from road, but not bad. We would love to go back, talking about it all ready.

A comfortable well adapted cottage no access problems for a wheelchair.

Everything you may need is provided and the cottage was very homely and warm. Fully recommend this cottage.

Very comfortable holiday home.

Fully fitted with everything we needed. It was a good size and owners were very friendly. We would come again. Very happy with it.

Very suitable for a person with limited mobility.

Sue is very nice and knowable. The farm tour was a bonus.

Excellent location, cottage lovely, farm amazing

We had a nice stay at the farm, where it is lovely to see the beautiful farm with his cows and a very warm kindly farmkeepster Sue and het family.

In a beautiful surrounding of Peak District is this the place to be for a beautiful Holiday!

Cottage itself was comfy, WiFi worked etc.

Bed was very comfy. Kitchen well equipped, although there was a washer but no dryer and nowhere to dry clothes either. Our main gripe with this cottage however was lack of peace and quiet. The mooing cows were no problem for us, but one side of the cottage is on a noisy main road and on the other side is right by farm buildings with noisy extractor fans running 24 hrs a day, which prevented us opening windows and using the outdoor seating space. An old fridge freezer had been dumped outside near the front door. There was no introductory folder, in particular info for operating/switching off the heating system. Hartington is lovely but some miles from the cottage, in our view it is inappropriate to assign its attributes for this cottage. However the cottage is very well situated indeed for access to the cycle trails and also general driving to Ashbourne, Bakewell and Buxton are all not that far away.

It was a surprise to find that the cottage was located in a farmyard.

The view from one of the windows is of a steel barn door. There is no mobile phone signal which could be important to a disbled person.

As I am a wheelchair user it was great to find a property that is accessible and has furniture that is the right type and height also grab rails in the bathroom

A very nice cottage indeed and very well placed for exploring the area.

We were made welcome. There is one issue that may be to do with the way Sykes lists pet-free properties, or it may be to do with how the owner has portrayed it: it appears on your web-site as pet-free, but in fact, as this is a property suitable for the disabled, it actually allows assistance dogs. While this did not affect us, it could well be a major problem for any visitor with severe allergies who is expecting to be visiting a pet-free property when in fact it may not be.

A pleasent stay cosey warm could update the settee etc other wise it was just great the owners were very friendly please make the cottage easier tio find do not use the post code i would not hsitate to return caro and paul
